"We believe that our products enable our customers to identify when preventive care options are appropriate, which allows them to intervene before events like heart attacks or strokes occur," said Doug Murphy-Chutorian, M.D., chief executive officer of Semler. "Hence, the incentives for our customers to use our products include better clinical outcomes for their patients and better economics for their businesses," he added.

For the sequential three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to three months ended December 31, 2016, Semler had:

Revenue of $2,055,000, a decrease of $261,000, compared to $2,316,000

Total operating expense, which includes cost of revenue, of $2,805,000, an increase of $386,000, compared to $2,419,000

Cost of revenue of $540,000, an increase of $15,000, compared to $525,000

Net loss of $871,000, or $0.17 per share, an increase of $651,000, compared to a net loss of $220,000, or $0.04 per share

Received new and expanded orders for QuantaFlo™, which we expect to be installed in the second quarter, resulting in continued sequential quarterly revenue growth as part of our recurring revenue model

Migrated more customers to QuantaFlo™ from its lower-priced predecessor product

Developed additional cybersecurity protections that are intended to aid our customers in complying with regulations regarding safeguarding personal health information

In 2017, revenue from QuantaFlo™ is expected to grow due to an increasing number of installations, higher average pricing as compared to its predecessor product and the recurring revenue business models that we employ. We have received new and expanded orders in the first quarter that we have installed in the second quarter of 2017.

Sequential results for first quarter 2017 compared to fourth quarter 2016 showed some decreases due to lower revenue from our fee-per-test customers, who primarily include home risk assessment service providers and who we believe historically conduct more business in the latter half of the calendar year than in the earlier months. Also in the first quarter of 2017, operating expenses were impacted by higher expenditures, such as those for increased manufacturing and fulfillment capabilities, projects to improve cybersecurity measures and research and development projects.

"Our immediate objective is to become the standard of care for testing to identify patients at risk for heart attacks and strokes to enable better preventive medical care," said Dr. Murphy-Chutorian. "The first quarter performance was outstanding in this regard, particularly in growing our order book for fulfillment in the second quarter of 2017," he concluded.

About Semler Scientific, Inc.:

Semler Scientific, Inc. is an emerging growth company that provides technology solutions to improve the clinical effectiveness and efficiency of healthcare providers. Our mission is to develop, manufacture and market innovative proprietary products and services that assist our customers in evaluating and treating chronic diseases. Our first patented and U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, cleared product, introduced commercially in 2011, measured arterial blood flow in the extremities to aid in the diagnosis of peripheral arterial disease. In March 2015 we received FDA 510(k) clearance for the next generation version of this product named QuantaFlo™, which was commercially launched in August 2015 to more comprehensively evaluate our customers' patients for risk of heart attacks and strokes. We believe we are positioned to provide valuable information to our insurance company and physician customers, which in turn permit them to better guide patient care.
